Hes got a 270 right now. He uses Benelli Nova with 3 1/2 inch magnums for Turkeys. It wouldnt kick that hard would it?
Did anyone besides Shato and Mthunter read this?
Good lord, he is doing just fine with a pump shotgun and 3.5" loads. The .338 win mag won't come close to the felt recoil of the shotgun. I have shot my share of 3.5" turkey loads and my .338 Remington ultra mag firing 250 grain bulletshas considerably less recoil than those shells do.
The 3.5" turkey loads are gonna have about 60+ foot pounds of recoil and the 338 will have about 33 foot pounds of recoil. I think he is gonna be just fine.
